Nesting Engine

Pack your parts onto acrylic sheets for the laser — fit more per sheet, waste less material, export ready-to-cut DXF files in seconds. Bring your own artwork from CorelDRAW or Illustrator, or just type your sign copy and let the engine draw and nest the letters for you.

How it works

Two ways to get to a laser-ready DXF: bring artwork you already have, or skip the design step entirely and type your sign copy directly.

01

Bring your own artwork

DRAG SVG / CDR HERE

Drag in your SVG or CDR export — CorelDRAW, Illustrator, whatever you already use.

TIGHT FIT — MINIMAL OFFCUT

The Sparrow-based engine packs every part onto your sheet size, minimizing offcuts.

SHEET.DXF — READY TO CUT

Send the packed layout straight to RDWorks or your controller of choice.

02

Instant Lettering

Fastest path to a cut file

Skip the design step entirely. Type your sign copy, pick a font and letter height, and the engine draws every letter as cut-ready vector shapes and nests them onto your sheet — nothing to a laser-ready DXF in under a minute.

TYPE YOUR SIGN COPY

Type your sign copy directly into the app — no separate design software needed.

CRISPCUT

Every font on your machine, any height — watch it cycle through options automatically, or pick your own.

CRISPCUT letters rearranged, rotated, and tightly nested together

Every letter becomes a cut-ready vector shape and gets packed onto your sheet — rotated and rearranged, not just laid side by side, for the tightest possible fit.

What you get

Software-agnostic

No CorelDRAW plugin dependency — import from anywhere, export standard DXF.

Instant Lettering

Type your sign copy, pick a font and height — the engine draws and nests the letters, no design step needed.

Sheet-size aware

Set your exact stock dimensions; the engine nests to your real material, not a generic template.

Fast on large jobs

Built on the Sparrow open-source nesting algorithm, written in Rust for real throughput.

Any font you own

Instant Lettering uses fonts already installed on your machine — not a locked-in library.

One-time license

Pay once, no subscription, no per-job fees — activate on your shop's machine and keep it.

Windows now, macOS coming soon. Reads SVG and CDR. Exports DXF.

How it stacks up

Two honest alternatives, and where Nesting Engine actually differs.

  eCut Deepnest Nesting Engine
Price Paid plugin — reseller pricing varies Free ₹6,000 one-time
Type text, auto-nest the letters No No Yes — Instant Lettering
Needs CorelDRAW / Illustrator Yes — plugin only, separate license required No — standalone No — standalone
Platforms Windows only Windows, macOS, Linux Windows (macOS coming soon)
Free trial Available — length varies by reseller N/A — free forever 7 days, full features

eCut is a genuinely capable plugin, but it only runs inside CorelDRAW or Illustrator — so its real cost is the plugin plus whichever of those you don't already own. Deepnest is free and does true-shape nesting well; it just doesn't do layout, lettering, or come with support. Nesting Engine skips the CorelDRAW/Illustrator dependency, adds Instant Lettering, and backs it with a real trial and active development — for a one-time ₹6,000.
Competitor details reflect publicly available information as of September 2026 and can change — worth confirming current pricing directly with each vendor before you buy.
